There are a bunch of very well written articles here (well, on Paul’s site, obviously not on this site!) about the daily nuts and bolts of VO work, like landing a freelance job, figuring out rates, taking care of your voice, etc. But there are also a lot of articles more in the line of just improving yourself in general, and thereby improving you VO skills, as well as your life.

You can quite enjoyably drop an hour here before you know what happened.

Just added a link to Corey Burton’s website. He is an announcing great and has been around the industry for longer than most, observing and learning and storing it all up. Now he is letting it all out and there is an incredible amount of info on the site about the development of the industry, the equipment, and VO life in general. He currently has a great piece about the evolution of Voice Over Style and how and why we got from the classic Gary Owens type announcer to today’s “No Announcers” state. Well worth a read if you have any interest in the field. There is also a great forum on the site which covers every conceivable aspect of VO and life in general.

just added a link to Terry Daniel’s blog. He has a bunch of very informative videos on Youtube and here as well as written info. I think he just really likes to share what he knows with people and you can learn a lot from him.
